youngest ever?
Guys,

My searching skills on the net are not great and I have tried. I was wondering who the youngest ever to referee a Division 1 game is and also the youngest to referee a NBA game is as well.

I thought I had heard that the youngest DI was Ted Valentine at 22 and the youngest NBA was Joey Crawford at 23 or 24 but I dont know and cant find rock hard evidence.

Only age questions I know the answer to are:

Youngest to officiate a Final Four: Teddy V. (29 or 30)
Youngest to officiate the National Championship: Nolan Fine (31)

As far as youngest to officiate any D1 game? Wouldn't be surprise if others had made it by 21 or 22. (Jason Page / Nathan Quick ???; or the off-spring of officials who got an early start???)

Why? Are you implying that you might be the answer to one of those questions after this season?

Well i had been told that its possible and so i was just seeing if anybody, with better searching skills than I, could give me the answer.

I worked my first game at 22 yrs. and 40 something days. So after someone mentioned it i started trying to find out.
